REVIEW |
This is a good 2 CD set. You get new music, old music and familiar music that has been changed. You get action themes, suspense music, female vocals, and slow sad tunes. There is enough here that has been heard in other Godzilla films that this CD set could almost be a greatest hits CD. There is a fair amount of repetition of several themes but what's nice about it is that not all of it is the same. Some of the themes have been reworked and given to you with a faster or slower tempo or with different orchestration. The CD is never boring and doesn't repeat enough to be tedious. Disc 2, like the single CD TYCY-5364, has several short cues, some of which end rather abruptly. This CD, like others, is hard to find. I won mine copy via an auction on eBay. If you can find it, it's well worth adding to your collection. |
